Painting a Watercolor Portrait of a Boy
Watercolor portrait painting demonstration
Shaping the face
 |
When the areas of head dried, I started to establish the shapes of the head with burnt umber and red.
I was not hurry to paint into the eyes and the mouth yet. Remember that the relationship needs to come first before the details of the portrait painting.
Then I used yellow to wash into the area of the shirt. I mixed yellow with small among of burn umber and blue to define the shadows.
